Bio
Donna Murphy
Janeene is best be described as an angel sent by God to lift Meghan up! She has been my daughter's job coach for a few years now. Janeene is a kind, compassionate, caring individual who has been blessed with a tremendous amount of patience. This provides her with the tools necessary to deal with Meghan's often multi-faceted personality. To be the parent of a child with special needs is exhausting on many levels, yet she is our daughter and a blessing. Janeene mentors Meghan with poise, grace, humility, and firmness always managing to motivate Meghan and drive her to become the best version of herself. Janeene is very diplomatic and professional when advocating on Meghan's behalf with her employer, always having Meghan's best interest at heart. It is a wonderful feeling to know that Janeene treats Meghan as her own daughter wanting what is best for her as well as understanding how to navigate the system so that she can weave opportunities for Meghan into her delivery of services. Thank you Janeene for what you do so that Meghan has a sense of purpose and value because of her job!

Always upbeat and enthusiastic, and an outstanding advocate, Janeene spearheaded the first comprehensive community relations initiative while at TRIS. Her successful marketing efforts led to significant increases in service provision in the agency's outpatient, vocational rehab and school-based services. I watched her initiate and seize a number of opportunities and turn them into rewarding partnerships, new business and mission-critical consumer/client services. She is a natural bridge-builder and collaborator, and earned the trust and respect of both community partners and colleagues. A highly effective communicator and strategic planner, Janeene has a keen eye for understanding the
